threatened by last session

No, he just said dependence on the therapist. But it was in the context that it was undesirable, like its something you should not want to encourage, but sometimes a therapist has to in order to get results. But with LI, the therapist need not engineer a relationship in which the client is dependent.

LI does require the participation of a therapist. It's not a self-help technique.

I don't really understand LI but I think that it may not involve disclosure to the therapist. A lot goes on in your own head (the meetings with the ego states) and I'm not sure how much of that the client reports to the T. Maybe the T just checks in with the client every so often, "how's it going? are you still talking to your 7 year old ego state? everything OK?" I don't know how it works.

[quuote]i think i just got a bit upset myself by my interpretation of your interpretation (ha!) and wanted to poo all over T's new toy so that he would go back to being regular, reliable T who is not rejecting you under any possible interpretation. [/quote]Thanks.
